Kellogg Essay 3 纠结中，请高人指点

rebeccablote

Essay 3是让你在毕业之际回顾Kellogg怎么帮你事先的职业目标。虽然它没有直接问你的Career progression 和why MBA这个问题，大家认为还需要写吗？
我可以写一大堆Why Kellogg， 但是是不是还是加上引子提及why MBA，where I am now (what qualifications i have now) 这个隐在问题呢？

我也在写这个啊，我觉得可以单独写why MBA in general和Why kellogg in general,但是后面要专门写下kellogg的MBA怎样帮助你，越specific越好啊。
career progression肯定要写，不然都不知道帮助具体的是什么。我看那些essay course上面说的关于你自己的东西，越细越好，只要是relevant的。如果你觉得那个原因套在任何背景的人上都适用，就太general了

嗯，多谢认可。我现在把work history和why mba缩到140字左右，一开始写了近180字，估计篇幅太长了，感觉有些跑题。

Hey there, happy to offer some thoughts here. Normally, you should ONLY answer what the question asks. So you are right that the question does not ask about your career progression, but rather about KELLOGG, and how rather about KELLOGG, and how KELLOG helped your career, so your answer should really revolve around those things. Hope this helps and good luck out there

hi，Jon Frank.I am working on this essay too. Shall I include my motivation for my career goals?For example,how did my past working experiences lead to these goals.
Second question, the question asks me to stand on the point of graduation.Shall I put all the "How Kellogg MBA helped me reach there" part as past tense?
third question, shall I also talk about my contribution to the school? I feel 500 words limit is really a big deal for me now.

向大家汇报，我之后又去找了不少Kellogg学校了解情况，也听取了很多人的不同建议，最后我采用了Admissionado 上建议的开头几短的格式。感觉that's the format i feel most comfortable with. 贴在这里仅供大家参考。

Give us the long-term vision in a nut shell. Super brief—show us where it’s headed. (75 words)

Explain your credibility. Walk us through the stuff in your past that convinces us you’re the man for the job—this is NOT your resume, we don’t want a laundry list of accomplishments. Instead we are CONNECTING a few key moments in your work experience that speak DIRECTLY to the likelihood of your achieving the goal set out in Part 1. (100 words)

Now explain the need for a KELLOGG MBA and what’s gonna happen at KELLOGG specifically. If your argument here can apply to another business school, you’re doing it wrong. Walk us through specific ways a KELLOGG MBA helps push you further along your trajectory. (100 words)

Now put us at the graduation moment, explaining what you’ve done to guarantee success. Are there backup plans? What are the steps? How is it all going to work? Convince us this is a “sure thing.” Show us not just ideas… but a PLAN. (125 words)

Take it one step further and push it into the future again, but with more detail than in Part 1. The “plan” – not just lofty goals. (100 words)
